You may want to post this question to the IMail Forum.  They are pretty good about 
helping out. This is the Instant Messenger forum.

Actually, it's not really spam related.  If I send mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and that use is non-existent for that domain.
Imail will send back a "bounced" mail saying something to the effect of
"User does not exist".  I'd like to know if that "bounced" mail can just
be discarded instead of bounced back.  We host over 200,000 domains
total with someplace around a million+ user accounts (not all
windows/imail solutions).  You can see where just the simple bounce back
messages would add up to a considerable amount of traffic.  We can
easily do this with sendmail but need to find a solution for imail.

Thank you very much for your input.

Ed

While I'm not 100% certain of what you're asking for, I'm going to take
a
leap and guess that you're having to deal with spam problem.  Trend
Micro
has a solution - "IMSS" - which I believe stands for InterScan Messaging
Security Suite.  At any rate, we were demoing the SPS (Spam Prevention
Service) which marks suspected spam as "Spam" in the header.  When
passing
the e-mail to the IMSS server, that application would then take actions
based on rules that you define.  In theory, you could set up rules that
affect bounced e-mail as well.  You can find more information at:
http://www.trendmicro.com

Hope this helps.

PS - the demo of the SPS application went great.  Too bad the funds
weren't
available.

In Imail 8.03 ? 2003.09.16.12

We currently offer shared hosting, using Imail as one of our solutions
for
mail.  There are approximately 2000 domains hosted on each server with
an
estimate of someplace around 10,000 user accounts total.  Given the
large
volume of bounced mail for unknown users, the upper management of my
company would like a solution for dropping bounced mail instead of
actually
bouncing it.  Similar to moving it to /dev/null on a *nix host.

This would have to be done on a system wide level as performing at a
domain
level would become extremely arduous even if scripted.

Does anybody know of a way this can be done?.

Thank you for your time,
